Check out Nikonians. There's a whole forum dedicated to 3rd party lenses for Nikon cameras. I'm sure you can get all your questions answered there....i remember seeing a post comparing the Sigma 18-200 and Nikon 18-200.

I bought a little photo studio box that has different color backgrounds. But the problem is when I take pictures, it shows all the wrinkles and creases on the background cloth. I want my pictures to be like the picture below, shoes look like they're sitting in the middle of space. Any advice?
Thanks in advance!!

I'm planning to save up so that in the next few months I can get my first DSLR. Planning on getting D40x. I know canon just came out with the Xsi, replacing the XTi. Anyone know if Nikon has anything releasing soon to replace the D40x? And where's the cheapest place to get D40x. I know places like BHphoto and adorama have them for a little over 500. Anywhere I could find one for cheaper? Also, how is the quality of the lens that comes w/ it in the kits, the 18-55mm one? Thanks anyone

Hi guys...Man you all can take some incredible pics...I just bought a new lens for my D40x. Nikon AF-S Zoom Nikkor 55-200mm f 4.5-5.6 G IF Lens. Can anyone tell me if this is a pretty nice lens. Thanks in adavance.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about it. They say that the 18-55mm kit lens + the 55-200mm is all you basically need. Unless you want wide angle photography or macro. I think you should have asked this question before you bought the lens though.

Dudes is lemmings.
This thread is starting to get annoying, granted I know there are a lot of great photographers in here, and a lot of cats that have a genuine interest in photography that are looking for tips and pointers. But some of you dudes just going overboard with questions that can easily be found with a google search. Maybe its just me, but I only come to NT with a question as a last resort.
